        Configuring the sysklogd Script
      </h1>
      <p>
        The <code class="filename">sysklogd</code> script invokes the
        <span class="command"><strong>syslogd</strong></span> program with
        the <em class="parameter"><code>-m 0</code></em> option. This option
        turns off the periodic timestamp mark that <span class=
        "command"><strong>syslogd</strong></span> writes to the log files
        every 20 minutes by default. If you want to turn on this periodic
        timestamp mark, edit <code class=
        "filename">/etc/sysconfig/rc.site</code> and define the variable
        SYSKLOGD_PARMS to the desired value. For instance, to remove all
        parameters, set the variable to a null value:
      </p>
      <pre class="screen">
SYSKLOGD_PARMS=
</pre>
      <p>
        See <strong class="userinput"><code>man syslogd</code></strong> for
        more options.
